The number of Respiratory Syncytial Virus cases in Ireland has reached a new and"unprecedented" record high.

About 65% of those 731 cases were in children aged between zero and four, while the next most affected group were aged over 65. He said that in previous years, the peak figure would be about half what was reported just last week, so Ireland is now experiencing"substantially more" RSV cases than would be expected in any given year.

Dr Martin said the fact that 290 people were hospitalised with the virus last week underlines how serious an illness it can be for some people, while for most it is just like a common cold.

This and the amount of current cancer cases is a sad indictment of lockdown policies.

For most this is a bad cold. For a newborn, this can be life threatening. If inflames the bronchioles making them narrow and air flow is severely restricted. In 4 week old it can have a mortality around 10%. we have PICUs for the most severely affected.

A person can get RSV by touching a surface or object with RSV on it (e.g. a facemask) and then touching their mouth, nose, or eyes.

Experimental vaccine that doesn't cure anything + lock-down that reset our immunity system to near ground zero. Now if you catch a cold or flu you'd be easily taking 2 to 3 times longer to entirely recover from it.

😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂 who cares.

“”Immunity debt”” ? A new and disputed concept. NPI against airborne disease work for RSV and flu too. Clean air !

Yet another consequence of the prolonged lockdowns.

I wouldn’t what mystery injection could have lead to this! The mind boggles?

It's all a load of bollocks.

Hospitalized from vaccines that you forced on children is the reason they are in hospital now

You just can't help your selves, more lies , with no proof , what yiz covering up . Bought and paid for yiz have some neck to look for TV licence money . Useless and unfit for purpose. And no accountability for anything you say . Just pull it out of the air .

😂😂😂

WOW who could have predicted shielding everyone's immune system from everyday pathogens for 2 years and injecting a substance with no long term safety data that could potentially lead to antibody dependant enhancement would cause this 🤷‍♂️ meanwhile in Africa....🤔

Oh no! what can we do. Let's ask Luke O Neill. Luke,'wear masks,social distance,lockdown and wait for a'safe and effective'vaccine. But Luke they didn't work the last time.I know but I really enjoyed the attention with Claire, Pat, Kiera, Joe. We had a great time scaring people

Do people not have normal coughs and colds anymore?

Keep up the propaganda, no doubt Pfizer will be kind

People need to get out in the sun more

Who could have predicted this?

Me waiting for the comments like:

Nothing to do with the vaccines of course😉

Lockdowns didn’t help
